Scripts saved in Automation Designer is lost. Any way to recover it?

Toad for Oracle
1

Hi
We had few "Apps" saved under Automation Designer in Toad for Oracle. For some reason, they are all gone. We did not do any changes to the Toad setting or installed new software.

Does anyone know if there is a way to recover them?

If not, at lease if you could let us know where the files are saved so that we could recover them from the backup of the server?

Thank you very much.

Hi Kei,
I have a similar problem and it ocurred after an upgrade to Toad For Oracle 14.2.
Did you find a solution to the lost Apps?
Thanks

This are saved in a file called ToadActions.dat. If Toad ever has a problem loading that file, it will tell you, reset the file to default, and rename the old file to ToadActions.err or ToadActions.bak or something like that.

Did you reset user files or import them from another connection?

If you upgraded Toad from an old version to new and the actions are gone, then you can:

  1. Close Toad
  2. Copy C:\Users\YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\(old toad version)\User Files\ToadActions.dat to the similar location for Toad 14.2.
